Wattage F-22 and AstroFlight 010 brushless

Hi. I am interested in the Wattage F-22 but would like more jet-like performance than a S 400 setup can give. I was wondering if the Mighty Micro 010 Brushless Motor from AstroFlight would be a good match. I don't need blinding speed, but I am tired of electric jets that fly like kites.

If so, could you tell me also what type of battery and how many cells I should use? Also which prop?

I have a lot to learn about all this stuff and any help you could give would be very much appreciated.

option 3 with mega 7 turn is the lightest and most optimized for the Wattage F22.

I will have to disagree here. My F-22 has a Hacker B20 + 4:1 Gearbox with a 9 x 6 prop on 10 600ae cells. Ready to Fly weight is 19.5 oz. This is a significantly lighter setup, will blast straight up for several hundred feet, makes amazing slow passes, and lands in about 2 feet.

Originally posted by Melfsmite Everyone I know flies the F-22 with the Mega 5T. There are many threads about it.

I agree, the F-22 needs more power than the Astro can give to be "Jet-like". I put about 150 Watts into mine to get it there. The Astro is limited to half that.

I dueled several times using my F22 with mega 7t, 10x1000 hecell and 7.5x6 prop side by side with the other gentleman' s F22 which has a mega 5t, 10xcp1300 and 7x6 prop. It is a very close call in level flight between the two but in vertical performance my F22 is a clear winner to his f22 and it flies longer since the current draw on mine is less. After all, in this case, the maga 7t is a better option. But I think Patrick' s F22 with hacker motor is the lightest and the winner of all Wattage F22s out there.

The Mega 7T on 10 cells and the Mega 5T on 8 would be a better comparison that the ones you're running. On 10 CP cells and a 7x6 the Mega 5T is out of its max efficiency range (too many amps). The 5T on 8 will pull as much power and be lighter than the 7T on 10. You're right, the 7T on 10 will fly longer. It depends upon what you want.
